Rolled credits on Life is Strange: Double Exposure the other night. Overall enjoyed my time with it; certainly not as good as the first game, but the mystery was fun to explore and it certainly looked and sounded great. I know one of the big complaints from the fanbase is that ( Spoiler )
I did like most of the new characters, but ( Spoiler )
I also thought the final decision point was a little weak; ( Spoiler )
Of course, the same day I started it happened to be the day the official announcement for Reunion came out, so I guess we'll see how the events of this one affect the story of the next game. While playing Double Exposure I did occasionally, especially in the last couple of episodes, think that it felt like the middle game of a trilogy, and (not counting Before the Storm) that's exactly what it turned out to be.
So I'll definitely play Reunion at first opportunity; we'll see how it turns out. I kind of feel like they might be pressing their luck a bit in bringing back Max's story a third time (or fourth, if we're counting Before the Storm seperately) - I'm not sure that these characters really *needed* more than the first game, which stood on its own in a way that Before the Storm and Double Exposure couldn't, but on the other hand I'm certainly interested in how their overall story ends (they *definitely* should conclude Max and Chloe's story with next one though).
But unless they announce later that Reunion will have a Switch 1 version (which, at this point, I doubt), I'll have to wait on that one until I have a system to play it on. Considering I really didn't even know of this series until like a month and a half ago, it'll be funny if that's the game that finally forces me to get a new console instead of, say, GTA6 or Elder Scrolls VI, since those are both franchises I've followed for a couple of decades now.
